Massage and PTSD

The Benefits of Massage Therapy for Military Veterans

 Military veterans can face a host of health concerns upon returning from service, from chronic pain related to physical injuries to emotional and psychological issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).


It's well-established that massage therapy can help reduce stress and depression, as well as help manage pain. It's no surprise then that massage therapy can be beneficial to military veterans and the unique challenges they might face. Share with a veteran who could benefit from this information in honor of Veterans Day!


 Achieve greater mind-body awareness, reduced pain

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by the intrusive re-experiencing of trauma, avoidance and emotional numbing and hyperarousal of the sympathetic nervous system. A study on female veterans shows massage therapy can have positive benefits by reducing pain and promoting greater awareness of the mind-body connection.


 

What Military Veterans Should Consider When Getting a Massage

  • If you have health conditions, check with your physician before beginning massage therapy. Consider working with a mental health professional, especially if there is a history of trauma or PTSD.
  • Search for a qualified massage therapist at the American Massage Therapy Association's FindaMassageTherapist.org and ask if they have experience working with military veterans.
  • Talk to your massage therapist about what you hope to achieve with massage therapy, and together outline an approach.
  • Communication is vital. Always let your massage therapist know what your expectations are, and communicate if you are uncomfortable at any point during the massage.
